It's an English guided group mixed with Europeons, Ameicans and some Asians. The tour leader Mark speaks English pretty well and makes himself understood all the way. Panda base is large and clean, very well organized too. Worth the money, good choice to travel around the city.

very nice experience, our guide Mark speaks fluent English and he knows the route to watch pandas where it is less crowded. He always took care of me on the way as I'm a senior. The ride to Leshan Buddha is pretty long but worth it, really amazing buddha statue. Mark recommended a garden restaurant serving Sichuan dishes at affordable prices , I enjoyed it very much! would definitely recommend this tour.
